From a duck with soft brown feathers to a donkey with strong white teeth, from a macaw with purple feathers to a fish with yellow fins, each animal on these cheery pages is happy to point out its special color. But what happens when Spider Jack pops up at the end to show off his long black legs? The rhythmic, singsong text combined with crisp, simple illustrations will have toddlers giggling along as they learn their colors.
